REVIEWS FROM PARTICIPANTS
OF MY COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
"Joining Carmine's online workshops on storytelling was just as perfect as he would do it in person. It is entertaining, interactive, thought-provoking, and offers a lot of useful input. I highly recommend every program he does!"
Dora Preszeller, Hungary
"I have enjoyed four online storytelling workshops in the last month with Carmine, and I would definitely sign up for more!
The balance of fun, interaction, intellectual and thought-provoking presentations, and videos/references from elsewhere, was perfect.
This series really brought me back to life after feeling drained by lockdown, helping me consider what is meaningful in all stories and in my own story.
Thank you Carmine!"

"Carmine Rodi Falanga is a great face-to-face trainer as well as an on-line host. He is knowledgeable and skillful, but is constantly exploring new horizons. He easily connects with people and he has a good sense of time, responsibility and, of course, humor. I enjoyed his Storytelling online series of workshops (https://www.facebook.com/events/2709860295938847) and I enlarged my network by meeting a bunch of nice and erudite people. I highly recommend Carmine's trainings."
Meri Arakelyan, Armenia
"I enjoyed the storytelling courses so much! Carmine is an excellent facilitator and educator. The courses were well prepared with a balance of theory and creative exercises. I'd highly recommend any of these courses. Thank you Carmine!"
Debbie Liebenberg, South Africa
"Carmine is a brilliant person and educator. His Online Storytelling Workshops have been a special chance to receive inspiration and motivation in learning more and more about storytelling. He was able to guide the group among various aspects of stories and their educational power - talking about comedy, personal growth, fun, values. I'm glad I've received so many fruitful inputs and tips. I recommend Carmine's workshops to anybody who feels like dipping into creativity and stimulating experiences, and especially to people who work in non-formal education fields and want to expand their skills and tools. Great job, Carmine!"
Marta Fissore, Italy
"I have really enjoyed Carmine's online Storytelling workshops. He is generous with his time, with his knowledge and with passing on links to great resources. I have been personally challenged in a safe environment and have picked up useful tips and ideas for my work. Looking forward to learning more and being involved with this growing network."

"Amazing trainer with great idea to share, I can't wait to attend your next event."
Mahmoud Qeshreh, Syria/Belgium
"I attended the storytelling workshop and I was impressed by the quality, dedication and the benefit of it. Carmine Rodi Falanga is passionate person, and he can easily transfer the love for stories to you. Every part of the workshop consist of different activities. The classes were approx. 2,5 hours long and we had activities, videos, interactions and theory.
I would recommend the workshop to anyone who is interested to enter the realm of storytelling and to learn little more of how stories shape our life, but more so, this workshop can unlock the creativity within. Thank you!"
Katarína Kubečkova, Slovakia
"Glad to be part of Online Storytelling Workshops (https://www.facebook.com/events/2709860295938847), glad to meet really interesting people, and glad so to learn more with one of my favorite mentores, Carmine Falanga. Can't wait for the next journeys."
Nádia Augusto, Portugal
"Wow! Carmine really knows what he’s doing. I recommend this workshop to anyone who likes storytelling.
Actually any workshop offered by Carmine should be your in your bucket list. Peace and Joy, Peter Shub."
Peter Shub, USA/Germany
"I recently took part in Carmine Rodi Falanga Advanced Hero's Journey training (and many other trainings over the years) and I always leave feeling I had so many 'AHA' moments. I would highly recommend attending some of his trainings. He has a wealth of knowledge on the topic of storytelling and facilitation. Thank you Carmine for the opportunity. Until the next time."
Stephanie, Ireland
"Great online workshops with very skilled facilitators. I did the Improv class as well as Sound in Storytelling and both were very interesting and fun with a lot of space for interaction. Looking forward to the next one!"
Nathalie Markiefka
"I was impressed how interactive a webinar can be. I had never heard of the interactive features Carmine used and I was just once more impressed by his skills as an educator.
The thing I just loved was the hands on stuff. I.e. Carmine and his fellow trainers can make a framework around a topic - which I also understood.
The webinar was not someone who knows stuff talking about it, the audience being impressed and after a day one has forgotten everything. [...] Concrete tips and tricks I can come back to and will understand even after some time has passed.
So, I can only warmly recommend as well the real life training courses as well as the webinars to all curious people out there!"
Philipp, Austria
"The way how the blog is written is very entertaining and inspiring! Thank you!"
Jana Bělohlávková
"I've loved Carmine's trainings and workshops for quite some time now, and I'm enjoying these new online ones just as much! I took part in the Online Storytelling Workshops series (https://www.facebook.com/events/2709860295938847), and was very happy with the balance of activities and input, and with the use of digital tools and media to aid the narrative. Carmine is a very skilled facilitator, he brings great knowledge, even greater humour and a wonderful ability to ask a lot of the right questions, sparking both curiosity and interesting discussions."
Giulia, Italy
"I took part in Carmine's online storytelling workshops recently on how to create stories, storytelling for personal development and humour/ comedy. Each workshop was very different, but so effective. Carmine has a great ability for creating safe spaces where people can challenge themselves and push their comfort zone. I am still laughing at the jokes from the final workshop, and so impressed by the Way of the Council experience, which could have been awkward online. Carmine's experience, enthusiasm and passion shines through and he's a very warm and welcoming person who values the contribution of the whole group! If I achieve nothing else during quarantine (highly likely), I'll be delighted that I took the time to take part in these workshops!"
Michaeline Donnelly, Ireland
"Carmine's storytelling workshops had a great impact on my creative being. It's a deep dive into the many aspects of storytelling and what it can be used for. Inspiring, refreshing, and a lot of fun. I warmly recommend this workshop series to all creative people out here.
Spread it to your friends, and the ones who might become your friends trough sharing this experience.
best, Jennifer Lorenz."
Jennifer Lorenz, Germany
"I attended a whole set of workshops, I couldn't be happier to have done so.
First of all it was obvious the level of planning and work out behind each one of them by the host, then his energy and good mood make all the contents (interesting just by themselves), super appealing and engaging.
The groups are dynamic, fun, energising, inspiring, there's a lot of learning from the host teachings and from the other participants.
In times when self development is becoming more and more of a basic premise for life, I can absolutely recommend these workshops, this is an experienced professional who will put you in marvelous moments of learning with great groups of people.
Don't miss out on this chance now is the time to reach yo your potentials and Carmine will show you the door to that road."
José Carlos Moreno, Mexico
"I have been following Carmine's blog for some time and the quarantine brought me this great opportunity to attend the Online Storytelling Workshops.
It has been a wonderful and transformative experience overall! Each session was meticulously planned and layed out by our host. It included a lot of interesting interaction, sharing and input from Carmine and the participants! Although isolated in our respective homes, there was a warm, supportive atmosphere among the group.
Every session was well-centered, with a lot of points to think about, and a great material for further reading! Lots of fun and information, all laid out in an easy and smooth way!
I will definitely follow more of Carmine's workshops in the future!"
Maria Meladaki, Greece
"I attended the first session of Carmine's storytelling workshop. Such an interactive, informative and enjoyable session it was. I always think storytelling is important to influence and impress but somehow I find it hard and get lazy. Some pieces clicked into place in my mind after the workshop though. I recommend you to prepare a cup of tea and make yourself comfortable. Then, be ready to get inspired!"
